Title: rear number plate light
Post by: Phantom on August 16, 2004, 03:29:36 AM
G'day all,
               Can any one tell me(or a pic) how the globe mounts to the rear bumper to illuminate the rego plate?
                           Cheers Rusty

Rusty,

I did my number plate light not so long ago.  I too was not sure exactly how to mount it but I improvised.  I made a 'U' shaped bracket with two flat bits on each end out of steel.  Then i screwed it into the holes provided by the number plate holder.  The number plate light sat nicely into the bracket and is protected by the chrome number plate surround works a treat.

Rusty,
As indicated by Mickus, there is a bracket which mounts in the two holes on the number plate surround using two rubber mounts. One side has a piece of brass strip which is your earth to the body via the bumper. The bracket has a hole in it into which sits the light body, the same set up as a dash light. Hopefully one of the more picture friendly guys might take a piccy for you.

        Slim had one in the parts for sale not so long ago, complete bracket. So you may wish to give him a call.
